He Was Leaving His Hostile Home

[Blind Gossip] This Actor won multiple awards for his craft before his untimely passing. However, his personal life was not as rewarding as his professional life.

His relationship with his Significant Other was bad. Really bad.

Although they lived very comfortably and wanted for nothing, she was constantly pressuring him about money. She wanted to buy a lavish house that was twice what he knew he could afford. “I’m not Brad Pitt,” he would tell her. “I can’t afford a $5 million house.”

The fighting got so bad that he took projects and trips just to get away from her. The fact that he didn’t bring her along infuriated her even more.

He was very generous with his time when it came to working with charities. He would spend time quietly visiting sick kids at a children’s hospital, feeding the homeless, or engaged in other similarly compassionate acts. He wasn’t into PR stunts so the press never knew about most of this. He would also give the charities $10,000 or $20,000 whenever possible. Of course, this was maddening to his S.O., who thought that all of his time and money should be spent on her.

Life at home became so stressful that Our Actor jokingly referred to it as a “concentration camp.” His child/ren from a previous marriage refused to visit him at the home because the atmosphere was so hostile and they couldn’t take the constant fighting. He took to sleeping at his office rather than going home, and was purchasing a condo so that he would have some place to go when they broke up.

Yes, he was planning a permanent split with her. He passed before that could happen. Unfortunately, the S.O. he was planning to boot now controls much of his money. Fortunately, he did make sure that his child/ren will want for nothing.

Clues: the man in the photo looks like James, there’s a young girl in the photo (he has a daughter from his 2nd marriage), he has a son from a previous marriage, and he was known for giving to the Wounded Warrior Project (charitable). His son was left a trust, and his daughter received part of his estate. He was in Italy when he passed without his wife(he took trips away from her a lot).

Definitely. He did a lot of charity work with vets and their families, and he did not like interviews or media attention. He was in “The Mexican” and another movie with Brad Pitt. The “wanted for nothing” and “want for nothing” seem like clues…he was in a movie “Money for Nothing” but that’s as close as I can get to interpreting that. That’s unfortunate–the guy seems like a class act.

Yes, but according to mainstream media reports, he botched his will and the money wasn’t distributed as he would’ve liked. Sounds like maybe poor Mr. Gandolfini (whom I love) was not so great with money. Remember he also shared a raise with other Soprano’s cast members? What a loss.

I lived near where he died in Rome, when he died. It was a 10 min. taxi ride to the hospital, yet the ambulance took 30 mins, and they sent him to a public hospital — a no-no for anyone who can afford private hospital in Rome.

Plus, it took the hotel 30 mins. to agree to check on him, and Italian public facilities have no auto-fib machines, which would’ve instantly likely saved him.

No. Not at all. He liked to pick them not fully ripe off the vine. Always started at 15. His last girlfriend was 15 when they got together and they were still together when he died. She was like 28 and he was 40 (?). Not offense to Paul because I love him in all of his humanitarian effots and being laid back and down to Earth.

Im pretty sure this is about him. I might say he career took off with the Fast and Furious franchisees. But I have never (I think) read something negative about him. Now with his death I know he was involved in charities. He was doing a charity event when the accident happened. His death was so tragic. When I saw the video I couldnt believe it. I was in denial. I had seen all his Fast and Furious movie and I though of him as an humble, honest, down to earth guy. So sad this read this. I hope he finally found the peace he was looking for.

I think that’s too much of a jump. Hoskins likely didn’t plan to engage in a stressful divorce at age seventy-one and afflicted with Parkinson’s. Plus, he’d retired due to his illness, specifically to be with his family at home – so it’s not like he was trying to actively get away from his wife.

Because of the Brad Pitt mention (they did 3 films together), Ace’s known relationship with him from previously solved blinds, and the fact that the clues fit (multiple children, humble guy, questions about the relationship with the wife), I’m going with:

At first I thought it was PSH but it can’t be him. He was with Mimi Donnell for 14 years but they separated in 2013. He only had kids with her. There was no previous marriage or kids from previous relationships as this blind mentions. I can’t think of any other acclaimed actor who died recently. I know Peter O’Toole died in 2013 but I don’t know anything about his home life :/

Ace this sounds an awful lot like your friend James Gandolfini. Only thing that makes me think it might not be is they call his parter a significant other not wife. I believe he was married to her in 2008. Other that James, got nuthin….
